Taking notes is a proven technique that supports learning, organizes knowledge, and helps with long-term retention. In the SuperMemo app, you can add your own notes at any time during your study sessions. This functionality allows you to tailor the material to your individual needs, creating a bridge between the provided content and your way of absorbing knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
